Twenty Republican members of the US House of Representatives, Committee on the Judiciary, have formally requested that US Attorney General Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein

“… appoint a second special counsel to investigate a plethora of matters connected to the 2016 election and its aftermath, including actions taken by previously public figures like Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.”

The seven-page letter signed by twenty Representatives (including Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho) makes a very readable and compelling case for appointing a second special counsel.

It will be interesting to see how the DoJ responds — if it can. Assuming AG Sessions’ declared conflict was justified for matters surrounding the alleged interference by Russia, it would remain justified for the present request as well. But beyond that, we wonder how any of the Obama holdovers in the DoJ and FBI on their respective Mahogany Rows and those now on the payroll of Mueller’s Muggers (Special Counsel, Ver. 1.0) who contributed very heavily to the failed Clinton presidential campaign could not conflict out as well.
